Well, that?s the beginning of the "stopping". If they use that, we can assume, that hunters in Europe & even in antic Europe or around the Mediterranean Sea used similar technique. It became more raffined by the time & Hampl using that developed hand stopping & hand muting. ************** Hampl is often cited for his refinements of hand horn playing technique. Even more important, IMHO, was the amazing discovery he made earlier: that the tone of the cow horn is significantly enhanced if you remove the cow from the other end. Gotta go, Cabbage
